Networking and operating systems

Ultimately, the reason for security is the protection of data at rest or in motion for a business. As such, it requires an objective analysis of the current state of the business or enterprise. The architecture, from a security perspective, is not vendor- or technology-specific but based on best practices. Likewise, it looks at the security requirements by device or technology type to meet the functionality necessary for flexibility in a changing infrastructure while implementing the most appropriate security model for the environment.

In the world of cybersecurity, networking and operating systems play a crucial role in safeguarding digital assets. This aims to provide an accessible overview of networking and operating systems within the context of cybersecurity, explaining their significance, functions, and potential vulnerabilities.
